Power Carving with Dremel Introduction

The goal of this course is to flatten that initial learning curve so that students will have the information needed to jump right in!  The course itself covers safe use of the equipment and required PPE, what is out there for equipment and comparison of the different types. The Myriad of different bits, and where to find them, their different uses, and the types of materials best suited for each bit. Then learn to carve a small barn owl, a tiki or wood spirit or class choice.

This course will explain what finishes to apply, burning, stain, urethanes, water-based vs oil based, interior exterior. Mixing turpentine with oil-based finishes to get deeper wood penetration.  Different oils and wax finishes.
